Elversberg is looking for its fourth win: top form against Fürth!
On Sunday afternoon, October 19, 2025, there will be an exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga between league leaders SV Elversberg and SpVgg Greuther Fürth, who find themselves in twelfth place. Wettbasis reports that Elversberg is at the top after eight matchdays with an impressive 19 points. Schalke are only one point behind them, which increases the pressure on coach Michael Schiele's team.
The Elversbergers are a power at home. With three wins from four games and an unbeaten record, they are aiming to equal the club's record of four wins in a row. The offensive is particularly impressive, with 16 goals, the best in the league. Players like Bambasé Conté and Otto Stange contribute significantly to the goal threat. Nevertheless, the defense is convincing, having not conceded a goal in the last two games.
Goal poverty near Fürth
In contrast, SpVgg Greuther Fürth is having difficulties with its defense. Despite scoring 15 goals, the team has already conceded 18 goals - a sad negative record for the club. The team has not finished a game without conceding a goal in its last 19 second division games, which is the longest streak in the league. Fürth scored ten goals in four games away from home, but all of them in the first half.
If you compare the performances of the two teams in their past duels, you can see that Elversberg was able to achieve two wins in four second division duels against Fürth, with a goal difference of 7:2. Despite all the adversities, there is one bright spot for Fürth: they have only won once in their last ten away games against league leaders. So it will be exciting to see if they can turn this around.
Statistics at a glance
The statistics collected so far indicate that Elversberg is ahead in all respects. The following table summarizes some data on the current form of both teams:

| SpVgg Greuther Fürth | 12/18 | 1 win, 4 defeats | 25% win rate | 50% win rate |
With 75% of the goals coming in the second halves for both teams, this game could be exciting, especially if the strikers take their chances. Kicker points out that it will be essential for Fürth to find defensive stability if they want to survive in Elversberg. However, if Elversberg was able to continue his impressive form, Fürth will have to warm up because the points are crucial in this intense season.
